I
am so tired...bigots and the chronically ignorant, drive me up a wall
and this week, we've got several from which to choose.
Spent
the past couple of days dealing with the idiot from Missouri, Todd
Akin, who apparently doesn't understand how pregnancy works, nor the
difference between having sex and being raped.
Akin
exposed for the clueless, the general consensus thinking of the entire
GOP. in that women can only get pregnant when they want to.
Therefore they don't need contraception nor fertility help. It's all
inside our body, just like those transvaginal probes they've been dying
to stick into our birth canals. It's also up to government to
protect idjit, and naive men from bad women who also routinely lie
about pregnancy and how it comes about, thus entrapping the poor
unsuspecting males with false claims of rape and paternity.
The
GOP platform, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, will officially assume
these ignorant positions next week during the Republican convention
in Tampa.
At
last word, Akin is continuing his run for the United States Senate,
to which I can only say...please...please....send this fool packin!
While
all this hoopla was going on nationally, here in Ohio, one of John boy Kasich's
minions stuck his foot into his mouth, revealing the racism festering
inside the State Capital.
Said
Doug Priesse and Kasich advisor in an email to the Columbus Dispatch
newspaper, about lengthening early voting hours to accommodate those
who prefer to vote before the election;
“I
guess I really actually feel we shouldn’t contort the voting
process to accommodate the urban — read African-American —
voter-turnout machine.”-Doug
Priesse
And
with that stupidity tripping off his lips, Priesse shut down weekend
early voting in Ohio. Statistics show early voting is a tool Blacks
use to vote, since most are working during business hours, the only
time to vote is on the weekends.
However,
Kasich and his boys know that Blacks ain't necessarily turning out
for his boy Mitt Romney, so they had to figure out other ways to
suppress the vote. They came up with this one after other voter
suppression methods were exposed and halted. It should be noted that
Doug Priesse, in addition to being Kasich's chief advisor, is also
head of the Ohio Republican Party.
The
Ohio GOP has a history of voter suppression. You will recall the
efforts of homeboy Ken Blackwell, who among other things stooped so
low as to demand that only a certain type of paper could be used for
ballots. It had to weigh a certain amount or it couldn't be counted.
He did this while Secretary of State of Ohio. And of course, this
was after he managed to “disappear” more than 200,000 black votes
in Cleveland to give Bush the election in 2000. Blackwell attempted
to screw with the vote in 2004 as well.
The
GOP knows it can't win an election outright if people turn out to
vote, so they do everything in their power to steal elections and
they've gotten good at it, too.
The
thing these two dumb asses have in common is that they exposed what
is general thinking inside their party. They don't see anything wrong
with what they did or said. It was just business as usual for the
Republicans machine. The republican machine was not happy about
being exposed, but again, they don't understand the error of their
ways.
Vote
responsibly in November
